Portfolio

I specialize in developing database driven websites in PHP using a mySQL database. I have over 5 years professional experience doing this stuff and I consider myself an expert in the field. Despite my young age, I have even advised other people in the industry on systems they were developing. I am fully able to go through the entire software engineering process with each and every one of my clients to ensure that I deliver exactly what they were wanting to meet their 100% satisfaction.

  • Thorough understanding of the Exim MTA (along with an indepth knowledge of how email actually works)
  • Full setup and configuration of OpenVZ (Virtuozzo)
  • Rapid Application Development
• I have reverse engineered numerous web applications (both open and closed source) for seamless integration into existing applications.
• Understanding of the MVC architecture. I also taught myself the PHP framework Symfony and have built this site along several others for my work using this framework.
• I'm currently a Senior working on my Bachelor's in Software Engineering and will be graduating in May 2008. I've taken courses such as Requirements Engineering, Software Architecture, Software Engineering, Software Testing, Validation & Quality Assurance, Data Structures & Algorithms, and Operating Systems Concepts which all have greatly added to my ability to document, design and deliver high quality software.
• I have a C.N.A. (Certified Novell Administrator)
• I have a C.C.N.A. (Cisco Certified Network Associate)
• I have an Associates in Applied Sciences: Software Programmer/Developer
• I have made the university's Honor Society, National Dean's List and Golden Key International Honor Society each year I've been in college; all while maintaining a full-time job and a side business.

• I designed, built and maintain an internal website for my last job that handles much of each employees job functions including client administration, contracting, scheduling, broadcast emails, and many more things. Due to security reasons, I cannot provide a link or screenshots of it here.
• I designed, built and maintain an internal website for a client of mine. It takes care of a good part of the business and is completely object oriented. I cannot provide a link or screenshots of it here, but I can give a one-on-one demonstration if need be. This system involves 2 servers: the webserver and the mail server host node. On the mail server host node are multiple virtual machines running email servers. The web server sends out numerous emails through the virtual machines. The responses and bounce backs are automatically processed by the web server as well. It actually does a good deal more than that, but that's it in a nutshell.
